Mates,

a dilemma in scheduuling has arisen.I have Phillies tickets for the Sat home fox game of the week and

I would like to see the Wolverines at Delval (a 45 min drive.Hmm? or can I wait to see them in late

November?

Or you can wait to see the Phillies later  What do you have a better chance of doing

[wesleydad]

time to talk about the game.  i will make my prediction on this site since it seems that the delval folks dont like it when someone has a different point of view when it comes to their beloved aggies .  the missed week has been annoying to me because i wanted to see some football.  i am not sure how it will effect the team, but dont see how it could be a negative.  delval played in trop storm hannah so they could not have gotten much out of that since it was a mess.  wesley is looking to get off to a strong start to make a statement for the season.  delval is a quality opponent, but if wesley plays the game to their capability it will not be close.  i think the offense will come out firing and when the smoke clears wesley will win 38 - 17.  i will be interested in seeing how the d line plays with the changes from last year, it was obvious in the scrimmage that the back 7 are very fast, any pressure from the dline will be an added bonus.  they will have to keep isgro from running all over the field, he is good.  hope to see a good showing of wesley support at the game, see you there

 Del Val showed that they can run the ball with Cook.  Isgro didn't get a lot of yards on the ground last week but is very dangerous outside the pocket running or passing. He has some good receivers to throw to.

Wesley has to stay focused early and not come out too over anxious. Wesley has two running backs (Jackson and Pennewell) who have rushed for 1000 yrds.,a tight end(Lanouette) that catches everything, a wideout(Beavers) who runs away from people and maybe the best return man in college football. Add to that TB
(Knight) and WO and punt returner (Neuman) and whoever else has a breakout year and with an experienced QB(Schatz) it will be tough to keep Wesley off the score board.

Del Val will have to keep the ball away from Wesley's potent Offense, keep Wesley from scoring quickly and score some points if they hope to pull off the big upset in Doylestown.
Wesley will have to keep Cook from getting 4 and 5 yrds a carry and keep Isgro from scrambling and making big plays. Wesley's Offense has to keep from turning over the ball.

My unprofessional expert picks for Week 2:
XSUGULL season record: 1-0-2 

Geneva at Salisbury
SU held on for the two-point win over Albright and Geneva fell to Seton Hill, 27-18. The Golden Tornadoes gave up 265 yards rushing and I see that total going up in Salisbury's first ever home night game. Last week the Sea Gulls ran for nearly 400 yards and I see the Gulls getting near that mark Saturday night. Salisbury 42, Geneva 20.

Virginia-Wise at Apprentice
The only thing I know about Virginia-Wise is that they went 8-2 last year. I do know about the Apprentice School having played against them. I'm going to take Virginia-Wise in this one. Virginia-Wise 28, Apprentice 18.

Wesley at Delaware Valley
I'm sure the Wolverines are anxious to get on the field since their game was postponed last week. I see an 'eager to play' Wesley team dominating this contest. Wesley 49, Delaware Valley 14.

Frostburg State at Washington & Jefferson
FSU has a new coach and they have had plenty of time to prepare for this game, however, W&J is a perennial power in the President's Athletic Conference. Its going to be tough for the Bobcats to pull the upset. W&J 42, FSU 13.

Wise is ranked 14 in the NAIA Coaches Poll (and 13 in another).  They pass first and ask questions later
QB threw for 330 and 7 touchdowns (5 in the first half) in their opener

[XSUGull]

Those are pretty big numbers. I saw there is a slight chance of rain in the Newport News area for Saturday. Hopefully the weather and some big plays on defense can slow down the Virginia-Wise passing attack.

Crud....  I won't be able to catch the game.  I have a contractor that has to work on the house tommorow.  I guess it will be WDEL for this weekend....

  During football season? Shame

For anyone else traveling to Doylestown for the game. There is a chance for some rain so be prepared but the temps will be in the mid to high 80's. It will be damp as it has been raining here since late morning. Travel safe.

Contractor or not, I got violently ill last night and am completely out of it right now.  So, either way, the football gremlins got me!  Enjoy the game.  I'll be listening.

OK, I  got my Pepto-Bismol next to me here and surviving (barely). 

A good solid first half for Wesley leading 16-0, except for the last 3 minutes.  A brace of missed passes, poor pass protection and a botched long snap kind of fouled that last bit.  However, two blocked field goals by Wesley kept the Aggies scoreless.  Jason Schatz wasn't on his game and some of his passes were overthrown with one a dropped interception.  With this being the first game, some mistakes will happen.  Wesley's running game was pretty potent, absorbing tons of clock time.   The only real mistake for Wesley's defence was a dropped coverage by the secondary that resulted in a big-time play that got the Aggies into the redzone.  Thanks to Marcus Wilson's blocked field goal, it didn't pay off.

About time for another cup of the good ole PB and the second half should be a good one.  Wesley held the Aggies to 0 yards in rushing.

Lovely, two fumbles for the Wesley offence to start out the 3rd quarter, one by Beavers (which was converted for a touchdown),  and the other by Pennywell.  The turnover jinx hasn't been broken....

10 points off of turnovers.  Coach Drass has got to be pulling his hair out.  Wesley leads 16-10.

Wow, looks like another Montclair State game!  Blocked Wesley punt gives the Aggies good field position, and subesquently nail a touchdown pass.  Amazing.  Delaware Valley leads 17-16.  Gotta give DelVal credit for scoring 17 unanswered points.

That was the beer, ski. You should be beter now.....oh wait...17-16 DelVal.....you shoulda  had a few more last night! Sounds like a good game. Keep us posted.

[Teamski]

McSweeney put in as QB.  Wesley survives 5 penalties to score on a McSweeney pass to Lannouette.  Penalty after penalty pushes Wesley back to the 20 yard line for the 2 point conversion which is missed.  Wesley 22-17.    The offense is NOT doing any favors here.  Thankfully McSweeney is passed decently.
